BOIL
Boil the kettle. Bring a pot of salted water to the boil for the pasta. When the water is boiling, cook the pasta for 2-3 minutes until al dente. Drain on completion, reserving a cup of pasta water. Toss through some oil to prevent sticking.
TOASTY NUTS
Place the pine nuts in a deep pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden brown, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion.
SAUCY SAUCY!
Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onions for 4-5 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the grated garlic and the chopped chilli (to taste) and fry for a further 1-2 minutes, shifting constantly, until fragrant. Mix through the Indian rub and sauté for 1 minute. Pour in the passata, a sweetener of choice and ½ the chopped pickled peppers. Lower the heat and simmer for 4-5 minutes until slightly thickened. Loosen with the reserved pasta water until a saucy consistency. Stir in the juice of 1 lemon wedge and seasoning.
TANGY GREENS
Toss the asparagus in some oil and seasoning. Place a pan or griddle pan over a high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the asparagus for 3-4 minutes until slightly charred and cooked al dente. Remove from the heat on completion. Season with ½ the lemon zest and a squeeze of lemon juice.
CREAM & COMBINE
In a small bowl, beat the goat’s cheese, the remaining lemon zest, a squeeze of lemon juice, and seasoning, using a whisk or fork. Loosen with water in 5ml increments until a smooth consistency. Stir the cooked pasta through the tomato sauce until well coated and heated through.
ENJOY!
Bowl up a generous helping of the saucy pasta. Top with the tangy asparagus and the remaining pickled peppers. Dollop over the whipped goat’s cheese and sprinkle with toasted pine nuts. Well done, Chef!
